On Friday, a jury of the Federal Court of Travana in the United States ruled that Qualcomm did not violate the clauses of chip design permits between the key participants in the semiconductor industry.
ARM ended in accordance with Qualcomm's lawsuits. The jury made a mixed ruling and made a ruling conducive to Qualcomm on a key issue, saying that Qualcomm had appropriately authorized the central processor chip.
After more than nine hours of review, the eight -person jury of the US Federal Court failed to reach an unanimous ruling on whether Qualcomm's NUVIA, which was acquired by Qualcomm in 2021 with a startup of NUVIA, violated the license clause of ARM.
But the jury found that Qualcomm did not violate the license between NUVIA and ARM.The jury also found that Qualcomm's chip produced by NUVIA technology is the core of Qualcomm's entry into the personal computer market, and these chips are appropriately authorized according to the agreement reached by Qualcomm and ARM, which cleans the road for Qualcomm to continue to sell these chips.
Qualcomm stated in a statement that the jury proved Qualcomm's innovation right and confirmed that all Qualcomm products involved in this case were protected by the contract signed by Qualcomm and ARM.
This legal confrontation originated from Qualcomm's acquisition of startup NUVIA for $ 1.4 billion in 2021, including technology covered by existing agreements with ARM.Now the judgment confirms that Qualcomm integrates this technology into its products does not need to pay an additional license fee.
Qualcomm is one of ARM's largest customers and long -term partners, but as the two companies become competitors in the computer processor industry, the contradictions between them are deepening.This dispute is very important because many of the world's largest technology companies rely on ARM's chip architecture and integrate it into Qualcomm's products from computers to cars.
After the judgment was announced, ARM's stock price fell 6.6%in the after -trading transaction, and then rose to the earlier closing price of $ 132.15 to fall by about 1.9%.Qualcomm's stock price rose about 2%during the trading of the trading.
